Our game lasts a solid hour and by the end of it, I am exhausted. I love yoga and football! Who would have guessed? And while I’m not planning to go pro anytime soon, by the end of the game I understand my role better. I’ve enjoyed myself. Even if my team lost—horribly.

Nobody wanted to take the stardom away from Alice. Jude tackled her once—and his daughter was extremely offended. None of us attempted again.

I can officially check off number eighteen. And I’ll play again. That’s part of this list too. Yes—experience. But also, I’m realizing, it’s helping me discover things I might love, things I might even be good at.

We all head back to Levi’s house for breakfast—but I’m the only non-family member here, and that has me a little on edge. Not afraid. I am not afraid of being the odd man out. But I can’t deny the nerves I feel skyrocketing inside my skin as we walk into Levi and Lucy’s home.

Even Jude who isn’t blood-related fits in like family. I guess that’s how it works when you’ve been close to the family most of your life. It doesn’t hurt that he married Coco either.

We line up buffet style for muffins, hash browns, and fruit salad.

Dogs—two that look just alike—weave in and out of our line. Princess, I’ve learned is Alice’s dog, and Max I’ve already met. We’re old friends at this point. Still, this kitchen isn’t huge and we are a full house.

It’s loud and foreign and crazy. And I love it.

We don’t use the dining table, but everyone finds a space in the kitchen or a seat on the couch. I am sandwiched between Levi’s mother and his sister, standing at the counter.

“Do you have enough blankets?” Lucy asks.

Coco chews and swallows before answering her. “Mom—Heidi mom, made me a dozen receiving blankets. We’re set.”

“And onesies?”

“Yes,” Coco says, forking another bite of cantaloupe. “But they’re tiny. I’m not sure any human is that little.” She pulls out her phone and holds it out and around me, showing her mother a photo. I’m listening, but I don’t have anything to add. What do I know about babies?

My eyes lift and drift in the direction I know Levi sits. He’s watching me, which sends a small thrilling sear up my spine. Handsome, brooding Levi Bailey. He doesn’t shy away, just because my eyes have found his. Rather his brows lift slightly, his eyes silently asking if I need to be rescued.

I give him a sincere smile, letting him know that I’m good. I like his mother and his sister.

“What do you think, Meredith? Pink or yellow?” Coco’s holding her phone, this time closer to me. Her Amazon app is open to sheer drapes. The thin material is arranged over a crib and pulled back with ribbon, creating a sweet canopy.

“Um,” I shake my head. “I’m not sure.”

“Her walls are pink,” Lucy says. “So, I vote yellow.”

“Or the white,” I say tapping the screen to view a new color.
